GROWLY DOG PROGRAM
This program is designed to help owners of reactive dogs who bark, growl, or
lunge at other dogs while on leash. Some reactive dogs are fearful, while others
are friendly but get frustrated when they aren't allowed to greet the dogs they
encounter. These dogs need to build confidence, focus, and self-control in the
presence of other dogs, and the Growly Dog Program is designed with those
goals in mind.
The Growly Dog Program begins with an evaluation, where we assess your dog's suitability for the program. If the Growly Dog Program is a good match for you and your dog, the first step is our group classes. Classes are small and designed to help owners and dogs build the foundation needed for safe, fun and confident outings. We will help you understand why your dog is reacting and give you the tools and strategies to manage in an uncontrolled environment. Following the group classes, you will receive four individual private sessions with your dog. These private sessions are designed to take your skills on the road. We will coach you on how to practically apply these skills in real world situations, so you can confidently manage your dog in the presence of other dogs.
PLEASE NOTE: The Growly Dog Program is designed for dogs who are reactive on-leash. If your dog also shows signs of aggression off-leash toward other dogs, or is aggressive or reactive toward humans, please call us for private behavior training.
Evaluation: $110 (includes a copy of "Feisty Fido" by Patricia McConnell)
Program package: $550 for 6 group sessions and 4 private sessions
